MUDA Scam

The Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA), a government body oversees infrastructure development, providing development-related sites and services, and addressing housing needs for underprivileged citizens in Mysore, finds itself embroiled in a controversial land exchange scam.

The Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA) is caught in a land exchange scandal involving chief minister Siddaramaiah's wife, Parvathi.

In 2010, Parvathi was gifted a 3.2-acre plot in a remote area by her brother. After MUDA acquired this land, she sought compensation and received 14 prime plots of much higher value.

Allegations of corruption have surfaced, accusing MUDA of forging documents and granting plots worth crores. Despite the accusations, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah denies any wrongdoing, insisting that everything was done legally. He also claims MUDA illegally developed a layout on four acres of his wife’s land without proper acquisition.
